    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yep... you nailed it essentially. Or as an old VP of product at a former employer once told me : Never build your product on someone else's platform.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Mostly it has to do with how microservices and cloud architecture are different. When the first companies tried to "move to the cloud" they just took their existing servers, and mimicked them in VMs running in the various cloud providers (called "forklifting", or "lift and shift"). They...

    Laptop Computers

    So...... after almost 10 years my Surface 4 Pro had it's battery go south (wouldn't charge, swelled up, popped one edge of the screen away from the frame). And I'm pretty sure I killed it attempting to ever so delicately do the brain surgery needed to replace the battery. I really did like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    He's a guy who does these "putting himself in someone's shoes" posts as a form of "reporting". Usually it's about corporate America nonsense, and this one was his take on the recent interviews with Metzen and such. I just find his stuff pretty "reasonable chuckle" worthy while being honest...
